## The dynamic block size makes it not decentralized, because if it has a massive adoption only big companies will be able to run the nodes. There is a cap to the adaptive block size, and we literally have 100gbit connections available now (which would be a lot more than what you would need). Storage is getting chesper, too. It will be fine. ## It has a hidden and unsolvable inflation problem due to its technology (ring signatures), it is one of the reasons among others why Liquid did not adopt ring signatures, if they did they could not guarantee the 1:1 backing between Bitcoin and L-BTC. It has a POTENTIAL inflation problem, but so does Bitcoin and anything else. Indeed, of the two, it is Bitcoin who has suffered a massive inflation bug, that was not devastating simply because almost no one used Bitcoin then. This one is a common misconception, see https://www.moneroinflation.com tldr: you need a FEW more cryptographic trust assumptions, if you verify that portion of the code to your satisfaction, you can be sure there won't be a hidden inflation bug. ## There is no consensus or stability in the network, Monero has had numerous hardforks throughout its short history to introduce new features which hinders its adoption as a store of value or currency. It's a different culture. There is consensus at the blockchain level in the sense that all nodes follow the same rules, and there is social consensus that the hardforks, when they must be done, are acceptable. Also, there hasn't been a hardfork for awhile now. But there will be one in a year or two, it will add more privacy features, and pretty much everyone agrees with it. ## It has tail issuance, which while low, nothing guarantees given the history of hardforks that this will change in the future.
Yeah but he's not doing standard supply fud here. This is the 2nd time I've seen him blab on and on about ring signatures and supply inflation. So yeah, supply inflation. so please show me the blog post or writeup or whatever where Adam Back or some big brain at Blockstream said they couldn't use Ring Sigs because of a potential inflation problem. Liquid HAS ring sigs ffs.
